Have you noticed that fewer people are taking a summer vacation to the usual sun and sand destinations this year? One of the main reasons for this is, obviously, the state of the present economic climate but another reason is that more and more folk are looking for a vacation offering something a little bit different. One place which is a superb vacation destination which answers both these issues is the fascinating city of Birmingham in England. Firstly booking your own city hotel (rather than booking a package vacation) will save you a small fortune and coupled with the fact that the British pound is struggling against foreign currencies England is the vacation destination of choice. Secondly city vacations are now more popular than ever and the city of Birmingham ticks all the right boxes for a superb city vacation, such as excellent facilities, extremely interesting places to visit, plenty of bars restaurants, cafes and the likes as well as more cultural attractions such as museums and galleries of the highest standards.
Birmingham has a healthy number of places to visit and things to do which include some fine museums and art galleries, for example the Museum of the Jewellery Quarter and the Thinktank, a new museum in the Eastside. Birmingham also has an incredible number of hectares of parks, open spaces and woodland, Sutton Park being the largest with 2,400 acres it is also the largest urban nature reserve in the United Kingdom and Europe.
Where To Stay In Birmingham
Macdonald Burlington Hotel Birmingham
The Macdonald Burlington is located in the heart of Birmingham and it is only a couple of minutes from New Street station (and adjacent to a 2,000 space NCP car park). The price is extremely reasonable especially when you consider that this is a 4 star rated hotel offering a whole host of modern facilities and first class, friendly, service.
The Birmingham City Centre Holiday Inn
Another city centre hotel offering superb accommodation at a very reasonable price is the Holiday Inn. This 3 star establishment is a little further away from New Street station (roughly a five minute walk away) but is maybe more suited for those visiting Birmingham on business.
Staying Cool at The Rotunda
If you find boutique hotels appealing then we are sure that Staying Cool at The Rotunda will impress. These studio serviced apartments have a fantastic style and are a great place to stay for a weekend city break. You will be amazed at how little it costs these days to stay in such luxury and Staying Cool at The Rotunda offers both 4 and 5 star accommodation.
The three hotels discussed above are just three of a multitude of fine establishments to be found across Birmingham. Whether you want to stay in a cheap and cheerful chain hotel, a first class luxury boutique hotel or a simple family run guest house you can be sure to find the perfect place to stay available at surprisingly low prices.
